What specific actions did Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre take to help H.S. Dixit?

Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre played a crucial role as intermediaries in facilitating H.S. Dixit's pilgrimage. According to Chapter 51, they were in Ahmednagar for an exhibition when they chanced upon Madhavrao Deshpande. Recognizing him as "the priest of Shirdi," they immediately understood his value to Dixit. Their decisive actions were twofold: first, they approached Madhavrao, telling him about Dixit's eagerness to go to Shirdi and urging him to meet Dixit at Mirikar's house. Second, they informed Dixit's party about Madhavrao's providential arrival. This act of connecting the two individuals was the catalyst that solved Dixit's problem and set his journey to Shirdi in motion.
